EW HAVEN 



THE CITY OF ELMS 

J3y CHARLES E. JULIN, 

Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce 



"""'"« , 



New Haven \i. the largest city in Connecticut in point of 
population; and in general business importance it is also the 
premier community of the state. Its civic personality is dual. 
iSTot only is it the home of more than a score of very large 
manufactories wi.-ose products are standards in their respective 
lines, but New Haven is the si^at of Yale University, the most 
national of American Educational Institutions. 

New Haven is therefore a city of great intellectual resources, 
of musical interests, of great libraries, of leadership in the 
world of science, thought and experiment. New Haven is also 
a great community workshop where 25,000 workers make useful 
goods, such as; firearms and ammunition; rubber shoes and 
other rubber goods; household hardware; clocks and watches; 
plumbers' materials and sanitary appliances; corsets; hosiery 
£ind underwear; computing machines; autorriobile radiators and 
accessories; carriage and automobile bodies; concrete stone; 
bird cages; fishing reels; electric elevators; sewing machines 
attachments; dies; chucks; screws; machine tools; hack saws; 
saddlery specialties; blotting paper; wall fabrics; printers' 
machinery; buckles and suspender webbing; safes; drop forging; 
paper boxes; caskets; wires; pianos; organs; candy; beer; ale; 
cigars; etc; etc. 



LOCATION. 

New Haven is situated at the head of an excellent natural 
harbor on Long Island sound, about 73 miles northeast of New 
York City. The population of New Haven in 1911 was at least 
140,000. New Haven is the market for at least one-third of the 
entire population of the state of Connecticut. In round numbers 
at least .'^50,000 people do their major trading in New Haven. 



11 



The N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. by means of .is six divisions, the 
New York division, the Berkshire division, the Northampton 
division, the Hartford division, the Valley division and the Shore 
Line division, divide the city into segments that resemble a ribbed 
fan. Along- all of these railroad divisions are located the factories 
that niake New Haven the working place of about 25,000 factory 
employees. The industrial magnitude of the city can not be 
appreciated by cue riding through the city on a train because 
only the factories along that particular division are in sight. 

The general offices of the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. are situated 
in New Haven, in the large yellow brick building near the "ail- 
road station. Not far from the general offices will sof.m be 
erected a modern and well equipped railroad station. Various 
other railroad improvements are contemplated for the very near 
future, such as electrification of the entire system from Stamford 
to New Haven, and improved steamboat dock facilities for the 
New England Navigation Company under which name are 
managed all the marine interests of the great railroad corporation. 



BUILDING EXPANSION. 

During the year 1910 and 1911 enormous building activities 
were carried out in New Haven so that the city has 
secured a far largei proportion than its population would indi- 
cate of the new building in New England. Prominent among 
these are the New County Court House, the Ives Memorial 
Library, the Taft Hotel, the Merchants' Bank, the Union and 
New Haven Trust Company's building, the Frst National Bank 
addition, the Mechanics Bank building; the Kafka Cigar 
Company, the Eastern Screw Company, the Bradley and Scoville 
Company's plant, also great additions to the Winchester Repeat- 
ing Arms Company's plant, the New Haven Clock Company, the 
Acme Wire Company, and a number of lesser buildings. 

Situated in horseshoe form around New Haven bay, flanked 
on the east and west by low wooded hills and protected from the 
north by great trap rock cliffs nearly 400 feet high, New Haven 
occupies a geog:^aphical position of unusual beauty. Three 
river.s, the Quinnipiac, Mill and West empty into the New Haven 
harbor, and afford excellent natural drainage. 

The city has a low death rate and a high average of commu- 
nity health. 

New Haven's water supply ic drawn from five lakes of about 
900 acres area in the hills, all protected by water shed reserva- 
tions of 660O acres that are strictly policed. The water supply 



12 



is ample for a city much larger than its present population. 
The storage capacity being about 3,000/000,000, 000 gallons. 

New Haven i;^ an important trolley center. There radiate 
from the Central Green express trolley service in every direction 
so that practically every town in Connecticut that has trolley 
connections may be so reached. And connections are made with 
New York and j3Gston. 

No city in the United States has a more impressive Civic 
center than that which clusters around New Haven's central 
Green. This historic square of approximately 18 acres was part 
of the original nine squares, in which the settlement was laid 
out in 1638. There stood the first meeting house, the first school 
house, the town water tower, the stocks, pillory, and the whipping 
post. There also was the first burial ground, and the old state 
house until 1877. Within a few years there has been erected 
fine buildings around this Green, namely; the general offices of 
the Security Insurance Company, also the County Court House, 
the Ives Memorial Library, the Yale Law School, the Malley 
Building, Hotel Taft, and sooji will arise the new government 
postoffice to cofcl with its iand $1,250,000. These buildings 
together with the impressive row of University buildings to the 
west, the city hall on the east and three historic churches, the 




PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF NEW HAVEN 

13 



United, the Center, and Trinity, in the center of the Green makes 
this square of giant elms one of impressiveness. 

New Haven ir a city of g-reat financial resources. During 
the last financial disturbance not one of New Haven's fourteen 
(14) banks was compelled to suspend payment of specie, a record 
which few cities of the United States can equal. 

Several of the banks have recently erected fine buildings, 
notably the Fir.^^t National Bank, the Union and New Haven 
Trust Company^ the Merchants Bank, the Mechanics' Bank. The 
People's Trust and Savings Bank, the New Haven Savings 
Bank, the Connecticut Savings Bank and the National Savings 
Bank. 

EARLY HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN. 

The Pequot Indians called New Haven "Quinnipiac,' which 
means the "Long' River Place'. In 1638, Theophilus Eaton and 
Rev. John Davenport and a company of English settlers landed 
in New Haven harbor after exploring the coast from Boston 
around Cape Cod and Point Judith and through Long Island 
Sound. A few months earlier Eaton and some of his Boston 
friends had noted the splendid harbor when they were here 
during the Pequot Indian War. A tablet on the wall of the 
brick dwelling house on the northeast corner of College and 
George Streets marks the spot where the party landed on April 
15, (O. S.) 1638. True to their traditions the party held a re- 
ligious service under a tree nearby. A stained glass window in 
the west wall of the Center Church depicts the historic scene.

POINTS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST. 

THE CENTRAL GREEN is part of the original nine squares 
in ^^•hich the settlement of New Haven was laid out. Originally 
it was the site of the town watch tower. The first schoolhouse 
was built on the Green, also the Court House. In 1827 the Con- 
necticut State Capitol was erected near College Street on the 
Green, New Haven and Hartford being twin capitals of Con- 
necticut until 1S77. The State House was torn down in 1889. 
The old burial ground also took up part of the Green. The 
stocks, pillory and the whipping- post also stood on this old 
common. 

GROVE STREET CEMETERY, probably the first cem<-tery 
laid out in family plots. Here lie buried: 

Roger Sherman, signer of the Declaration of Independence; 

Lyman Beecher, theologian and preacher; 

Noah Webster, compiler of dictionary; 

Charles Goodyear, inventor of vulcanized rubber; 

Rear Admiral Andrew Hull Foote;

— Judges Dixwell. Whalley and Gofte — hid to escape the aveng- 
ing messengers &ent out 20 years later by King Charles II.

shows the remains of the redoubts which the American troops 
held in the war of 1812. British warships bombarded this fort 
and Fort Wooster on the heights in the rear.

YALE UNIVERSITY 

Yale University has more than 3,300 students enrolled in its 
nine (9) departments. These include Yale College, Sheffield Sci- 
entific School, the Law School, the Medical School, the Theologi- 
cal Seminary, the Forestry School, the Music School and the Post 
Graduate course. Between 16.000 and 17,000 living graduates, 
resident in every part of the United States and in practically ev- 
ery considerable community of the world spread the influence of 
the University in just the manner that the small company of 
Congregational clergymen hoped would prove true when they met 
in Branford June 17, 1701, under the leadership of the Rev. James 
Pierrepont of New Haven and the Rev. Abraham Pierson of 
Killing-worth to found a Collegiate School. They might have 
said: "Silver and gold have I none, but that which I have do I 
give," for their endowment of this collegiate school consisted 
only of books which they brought from their (wn small libraries 
and deposited on the table of that Branford dwelling. The school 
thus founded had its modest home at Saybrook. Cfainecticut. 
In 1716 the colony of New Haven was already recognized as the 
most promising settlement of the region and the school was 
therefore moved into New Haven, where a brick building was 
erected to house students and teachers, all of whom at one time 
were drawn mainly from the sea coast tov/n& of Long Island 
Sound and from other settlements in what i,s now Connecticut. 

Governor Elihu Yale, who was the British governor of East 
India and a man of considerable means, took an interest in the 
struggling institution and in 1718 gave the proceeds of a consign- 
ment of East Indian goods that brought £.562, also a number of 
books and a portrait of the king. This gift, considerable in those 
days, caused the trustees of the institution to rename it "Yale 
College." From these slender beginnings has grown an institu- 
tion with several million dollars worth of real estate in the city, 
about 70 substantial buildings, a large amount of valuable scien- 
tific appartus, libraries of more than 5^3,000 volumes, an art gal- 
.lerj^ of considerable importance and a sphei'e of influence far 
greater than its ten million dollars of endowment. 

No visit to New Haven is complete without an hour spent 
at Yale. Visitors are taken hourly during the day by courteous 
guides from the Phelps Gateway on the College street side of the 
Green. The chief buildings of Yale University are: 

On the "Old Campus:" 

Vanderliilt Hall, dormitory, a gift of the late Cornelius 
Vanderbilt in memory of his son; 
Art School and Galleries; 

19 



Osborne Hall (a recitation room building); 

Welch Hall, Farnam Hall, Lawrence Hall, and Durfee Hall, 
also Connecticut Hall, dormitories; 

Phelps Hall, classic recitation rooms; 

Batten Chapel; 

Dwight Hall (Y. M. C. A.); 

The University Libraries; 

Wright Hall, a memorial dormitory now building. 

"On Elm Street:" 

Fayerweather Hall, White Hall, Berkeley Hall, Haughton 
Hall, all dormitories; 

Lampson Lyceum; 

The Theological Seminary, corner Elm and College streets; 

The new Vanderbilt Square on College and Wall streets, with 
buildings erected by Mr. Frederick W. Vanderbilt; 

The Bi Centennial group, corner College and Grove streets; 

The Sheffield Scientific School group on Hillhouse avenue. 
Grove and Prospect streets; 

The Forest School, 360 Prospect street; 

The Law School, Elm street, near College street; 

The Music School, College street, corner Wall; 

The Medical School, York street, near Crown. 

Visitors to New Haven are generally mystified by certain 
tomb-like brick, stone or marble structures noticed in the vi- 
cinity of the University. These are the secret society or fra- 
ternity homes whose influences are a great factor in Yale 
life and an election to whose membership is coveted by almost all 
students. The leading fraternities are Skull and Bones, (brown 
stone structure, west side of High street, near Chapel); 

Scroll and Key, (northwest corner of College and Wall); 

Wolf's Head, (brown stone house, northeast corner of College 
and Trumbull streets); 

Delta Kappa Epsilon, (York street south of Elm); 

Psi Upsilon, (High street near Elm); 

Alpha Delta Phi, (Hillhouse avenue near Grove); 

Zeta Psi, (York street near Wall); 

St. Anthony's Hall, (corner College and Wall streets);

Berzelius, (corner Trumbull and Whitney avenue); 

Book and Snake, (corner High and GroA'e streets);

The great intercollegiate games between Yale and other Uni- 
vvj^rsities and Colleges, football, baseball and track sports, are 
held at Yale Field (take Derby Avenue Car) a short distance 
beyond West River and about a mile and a half of the Campus. 
The great football stands have seats for 33,0€0 spectators. The 
baseball stands will accommodate about one-fourth that many. 
Recently about 20 acres of additional land have been acquired 
near Yale Field to permit of more general participation in 
sports by the students. 

The Yale Gymnasium and the superb Carnegie Swimming 
pool, in Elm street, near High, are of particular interest. 

Inside the Yale College Campus is an institution dear to the 
student heart, namely, the great fence which skirts the drive- 
way. Of a warm evening it is a "roosting place" for hundreds of 
undergraduates by classes engaged in the "rendering of close 
harmony."

NEW HAVEN IN 1912 

The main shopping- streets of New Haven are: Chapel, Church 
and Ehn streets. Large wholesale houses are located in State 
street and Georg-e street. The banks of the city are in Church, 
Chapel, Orang-e and State streets. The leading- brokerage oiflces 
are in and about Orange and Center streets. "Within the past two 
years a growing tendency to ispread business has developed and 
Elm street, Crown street and Temple streets are rapidly becom- 
ing commercial centers. 

The Grand List of New Ha\en is $132,287,726.00, an increase of 
more than five million dollars in one year, which iy a sign of 
rapid and substantial growth. The city tax rate is -I6V2 m.ills. 
With good school?;, clean streets, many of them well and per- 
manently paved, and up-to-date fire departments, a police de- 
partment that is wide awake, more than ninety churches of all 
denominations, New Haven is a progressing and well equipped 
city. 

The city's water and railroad facilities make New Haven a 
distributing point for coal far beyond that of many cities sev- 
eral times its size; and consequently a low price for steam coal 
gives New Haven manufacturers a decided advantage. 

New Haven is not a congested city, but is laid out on broad 
lines encircling the harbor on three sides. Its area is about 
19.9 square miles. 

Detached houses are therefore the rule in residential quarters. 
There are a number of excellent sites for factories, close to dock 
and harbor facilities or along one or another "ot the several rail- 
road divisions, and in some cases havirfg-' access to both water 
and rail transportation. These are' considerations that we have 
weighed largely in inducing manufacturers to increase their 
plants in New Haven. 

New Haven is the largest city in Connecticut and the fourth 
in New England, its popul-ation for 1911 is estimated at 140,000, 
and, together with its suburbs that are virtually part of the 
city, at least 170,000. The purchasing population in and around 
the city is about 3.50,000. 

It has fourteen banks and trust companies, all of them of 
excellent standing and some of them rated by the controller of 
the currency as "honor banks." The total bank clearings from 
October 31, 1910. to Sept 29, 1911, were $148,76.5,744.17. 

There are more than five hundred industrial establishments, 
which employ upwards of 25,000 men and women. Their pro- 
ducts are of greater variety than those of any other city of 
equal size in the United States. 



23 



The city has an excellent harbor with channel 20 feet deep 
and 400 feet wide. The city owns a public dock, and it is rapidly 
becoming an electric city, both in power and in lighting. 

It is one of the great coal distributing points in New Eng- 
land. In consequence good steam coal for manufacturing is 
comparatively cheap. The importance of a good harbor and 
open communication with the sea throughout the year cannot 
be overestimated. 

The public school system is excellent. It has many fine build- 
ings and an efficient corps of teachers; two good high schools, 
and 22,500 children undergoing public instruction. 

New Haven has eleven parks with a total area of 998 acres; 
two of them are elevated, being on the summit of East Rock 
and of West Rock, twin cliffs nearly 400 feet high; three of the 
parks front on the harbor. 

Savin Rock on the west and Lighthouse Point on the east 
side of the harbor, afford recreation opportunities by the seashore 
in summer months, in each ca.se a five cent trolley fare. The 
usual sports are here followed, baseball included, and many de- 
vices are operated on the popular seashore plan.
